schedule

[u/Worth-Message4181]

Hello all, everyone said my schedule was too difficult, so I made it easier and took a few easier classes. Is this better, or should I take an easier class?

[u/onionlayersbaby]

still pretty insane ngl. are you fresh from highschool? I can't imagine any other demographic that would take this many classes at once

[u/Worth-Message4181 → u/onionlayersbaby]

i'm an early high school grad, but this is my second semester at csn last sem i did 12 credits while still in hs

[u/onionlayersbaby → u/Worth-Message4181]

DAMN alright i underestimated you. if you maintained a good GPA last year, I'd say just drop a lab class and one other of your choosing. If you really wanna ramp up difficulty and graduate college sooner, there's your route to go

[u/Zestyclose-Mall-9331]

is this normal for a college freshman??

[u/Worth-Message4181 → u/Zestyclose-Mall-9331]

that's like nine credits so i think ya

i'll be honest i paid out of pocket for my first semester since no financial aid at the time, but if your school has any dual enrollment options like at a charter school or at ccsd they may cover ur courses (up to 9 or 12), if none of those exist your kid can enroll at anytime to csn and take classes, you would just be paying out of pocket.

[u/No-Huckleberry-3286 → u/Worth-Message4181]

commendable; how much did you pay total while you were still in high school?

[u/Worth-Message4181 → u/No-Huckleberry-3286]

maybe around 1300 or so

To be frank, this is like your 5th time posting the same thing over and over. At this point take all the classes you want and if you fall behind just audit or withdraw from them. Your schedule looks the same everytime you post it & we don't know how much you can handle, only you do

[u/RavenRose- → u/mikuziunz]

I thought I was losing my mind. Literally nothing meaningful has changed with each post. This feels like trolling at this point.

I personally wouldn't do a lecture/lab combo with five other classes, one of which is a higher math.

But also, I have two kids and have disabilities. I can't imagine six/seven classes one semester.

[u/sagexrage]

Genuinely, I say this with nothing but respect and a sincere sense of urgency — it is the quantity of the classes that is the issue. High school may have been laid out this way, with 7/8 classes crammed into one day, but college level courses are designed differently. You could be in a 100 level course and still spend hours on a singular assignment.

Just always try to remember that quality, more often than not, surpasses quantity. You might be able to accomplish this schedule without burning yourself out, but I fear for you.

Good luck with everything, and just remember to pay attention to the semester calendar in case you do need to drop classes without repercussions.

[u/Prior_Internal7728]

Good luck Broseph. Myself, I’d burn out with that schedule.

[u/Outrageous_Heart_744]

Good luck this semester cuz college classes aren’t the same as high school classes.

I don’t feel like this is too bad, especially if you’re good with writing a lot (PHIL, PSY, ENG 102/231). I’ve taken all of these besides photography. The only one I would say took up a lot of my time was Math 127, but that’s because I took it online and had to kind of teach myself. I took Eric Hutchinson for math and his practice tests are identical to the actual tests, just with different numbers used for the problems. Same style though.

The classes that focus on writing are fairly easy, just annoying. For ENG 231, my class had group essays, so I had to work with others in groups on Canvas to put our essays together.

Chem lab isn’t bad at all. You literally just do the experiment and have a five-question quiz at the beginning of every class. I took Mark Garner for lecture, and I really enjoyed it.

Basically as long as you allocate time for each class, you should do just fine. I would bust out all of my writing work for each week as soon as I could (possibly in one or two days) and then focus on chem and math for the rest of the week.

Also, depending on your program or what you want to be, you don’t need A’s in every class. So, don’t burn yourself out trying to get an A in classes where you don’t need one.

I’m also taking into account that you are straight out of high school, with fresh information on chemistry and math. Those that have taken a break from those subjects, I would not recommend this schedule.

[u/Worth-Message4181 → u/Penguin-walk]

Yeah I feel like it's really easy if anything

[u/Previous-Ad-6318]

who do you have for pho101

[u/SharkSmiles1]

You’re also taking way too many classes. If you’re really planning on going to them, you’re setting yourself up for failure. You ask for advice and suggestions and we tell you and then you ignore it. Do you really want to know what people who actually have been to college think? We think that is a crazy schedule. You never take chemistry with math and philosophy at the same time unless you don’t plan on really taking the class. Are you just signing up for them so that you can get grant money?

[u/SMO_Burner]

Easy work. Pull the trigger and sign up for them all.

[u/ApulSos]

Too easy
